Spellings:
Children will have 10 spellings to learn each week all linked to a phonic sound. All the spellings will be loaded onto the Spelling Shed website and all children have their own login details. Children should log on to this 2-3 times per week to access the spelling games. Children will also be given a spelling sheet each week which they can practice writing their spellings. They will be tested each Friday and the new spellings will also be sent home on this day. In addition to this, children may be given an extra 2-3 words to learn which do not follow the regular spelling pattern.
Science
For our Science lessons we will be looking at the topic 'Seasonal Changes'. Children will learn about the different seasons and the weather linked to each season. We will focus on the changes that will be happening as we move into Autumn and Winter and explore the outdoors to find evidence of seasonal change. This will be continued throughout the the year with the children observing the different weather patterns that each season brings.
The key information that the children will be learning about Seasonal Changes can be found on the Knowledge Organiser below.
